Glutamine has recently been the focus of much scientific interest. A growing
body of evidence suggests that during certain stressful times, the body may
require more Glutamine than it can produce. Under these circumstances
Glutamine may be considered a “conditionally essential” amino acid. Glutamine
is involved in maintaining a positive nitrogen balance (an anabolic state) and
also aids rapidly growing cells (immune system lymphocytes and intestinal cell
enterocytes). In addition, Glutamine is a regulator of acid-base balance and a
nitrogen transporter.
